If you have access to a search engine (like Yahoo, etc.), keying in Ezzo
will most likely give you more sites than you will want to find time to
review.  Also, like someone else mentioned a few days ago, Dr. Aney (his
e-mail is [log in to unmask], I believe) has a good pack of printed info
available.  Katie Granju's article in Salon magazine was thorough and
concise if you can get a copy of it.

I would also carefully review Dr. James Dobson's info on breastfeeding
in the new parenting/child care manual recently released from Focus on
the Family before giving it blanket approval if you're looking for
options to the Ezzo feeding method...perhaps I'm just a little more
mother-instincts oriented than Dobson is in this arena.

Personally I like the questions Dr. Sears poses in his Christian
Parenting and Child Care book regarding *any* approach; it's sometimes
easier for me to remove my personal inclinations as a professional and
person if I can present someone else's well-thought questions and allow
the parents to be the judges of the Ezzo or Ferber or even the Sears'
methods.

Also, I've discovered that some of the larger churches that have the
Ezzo programs in place have ministers who are ignorant of the contents.
They are simply too busy to scrutinize everything and have simply
allowed parishioners to meet at the church since the name of the program
sounds good and the parishioners requesting permission are typically
trusted, involved, well-meaning people.  Scary...  Sometimes when the
ministers are approached w/ objective information about the programs,
they are truly not supportive of them.  Just my novice experience in the
past year...

Where I've seen the Ezzo stuff showing up, too, is in the
mother-to-mother breastfeeding support groups that some hospitals
sponsor w/out an IBCLC or qualified person to "lead" the group.  The new
moms get together and someone has "discovered" the wonders of Babywise;
suddenly moms are gone after 3 months of breastfeeding when their milk
supply dwindles on the schedule.  Sadly, the convenience factor is
attractive and popular w/ moms in this area regardless of
religious/non-religious bent.
